        Above we described that all our thoughts and behaviors are learned. Life is thus composed of a wide range of learning opportunities. Trying to change all of them at the same time would quickly become completely unmanageable. Therefore it is important to &quot;break down&quot; your learning history into small pieces if you want to discover more about how you learned different thoughts and behaviors. The smaller the pieces, the more concrete is our understanding of a learning situation.</p>

        <strong>Situation </strong>
    </p>
    <p>
        We use the word situation to describe what happens before a behavior. Situation is not only defined as the external environment, i. e. your physical surroundings, but also your internal environment, such as thoughts, feelings and physiological sensations. Behavior does not arise spontaneously. It depends on the situation it occurs in. For example, a certain environment could increase or decrease the likelihood that you feel happy, or behave cheerfully. It is more likely that you feel happy and laugh when you visit a theme park than when you walk in a cemetery, to take an obvious example. The situation therefore affects the likelihood that we carry out certain behaviors. Being around your boss increases the likelihood that you behave professionally. Taking part in a dance course increases the likelihood that you behave happily and actively. It is not so common to talk loudly to your neighbor in the library, but it is much more common with the same behavior if you are at the pub. 
        Places, people, contexts and times of the day are examples of environmental factors that can affect how you think, feel and act. These factors are part of the situation because they affect the likelihood of what you could possibly do.
